Life Knows No Bounds: One Who Loves You More by Andrea Clinton

• Alisa is a money grubbing gold digger who sashays through her days wearing this title like a tiara. Feeling life’s all about the expensive gifts and money a man can give her, Alisa follows the steps of her mentor and basks in the glory of using men, until she stumbles upon Omar.

• Omar is an African American Muslim trying to fight his demons and find his way back to the Islamic life he knew as a child. Distraught over disagreements that divided the Muslim community a decade prior, where many Muslims became victim to inner city chaos, Omar became a product of his environment and is at the head of that chaos.

Tired of hearing her mother rant and rave about her gold digging ways, Alisa decides to take her great grandmother’s advice, “Always get a man who loves you more than you love him.” Stumbling upon Omar in his brand new Cadillac, Alisa decides to make him her man, or rather, her victim, or will the tables turn? Hell erupts, splatters like geysers, while skeletons and bones fly out closets in, Life Knows No Bounds, “1 Who Luvs U More.”

T. Nicole currently resides in Philadelphia, and has done so since she graduated high school. T. Nicole is what some may call cultured because of her travels and residing in various areas of the country. T. Nicole e takes her past and present accounts of life and uses them as her motivator to move forward everyday. Many people claim to know T. Nicole, but few really do. Through her work as an author, avid reader and dedicated mother this Queen of Contemporary Drama has gained some added value through all of her experiences. Expanding her horizons, T. Nicole has taken playwriting under her wing and plans to debut her first play Summer 2011. Her motto is "Life is an Inspiration to Create". She writes when she is inspired and this allows for dynamic character and story development.

People always say that journaling is good for the soul...those people don't know Sheree. She knew what the deal was when she married Matt. She was supposed to be the silent wife, until he was at a place in his company where he could worry less about the opinions of senior partners. Matt was the kind of professional that had to keep a perfect image; an image that didn't included a black wife and a mixed breed baby. . When that silence made her invisible it became a problem. Her invisibility allowed Kelly to be the woman in the eye of Matt's friends, family, and colleagues. Trying to deal with Matt, Kelly and the fact that she can never be seen, was proving to be to much for Sheree. To add insult to injury, their innocent child is stuck in the middle. Just as Sheree is a secret, so is this child; in fact he is the biggest secret of all.

All the while, she continues to be the perfect wife and mother. The rage inside her builds until she can't take it anymore. There is a plan brewing and only her diary knows...

Carla S. Pennington was born and raised in Prichard, AL where she currently resides. At the age of 15, she became pregnant and refused to be a statistic. In 1995, she graduated number 5 in her class from Mattie T. Blount High School. She went on to further her education at SpringHill College where she received her Bachelors of Arts degree in Communications with a concentration in Journalism in 2002.

Carla decided not to pursue a career in Journalism. Her heart and mind had always been set on creative writing; things that she could make up. In 2005, she published her first novel, FLING, with a local publisher. She has future plans of re-releasing the novel. In 2008 and 2010, two of her erotic short stories appeared in Mocha Chocolate and Mocha Chocolate remix anthologies (www.shanibooks.com). In 2010, she also contributed an erotic short story to the Chocolat Historie D’Amour anthology (www.ladyellepublishing.com). In January 2011, her second novel, The Available Wife, was released through Life Changing Books (www.lifechangingbooks.net) and it is making a name for itself throughout the urban fiction world.

In 1996, Carla was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Over the years, the disease halted her, but she refuses to let it stop her. She is currently working on a number of other projects that she plans to have published in the near future. Contact info: carlapennington@hotmail.com, www.facebook.com/carlapennington
